Last night the ladies of The View erupted into predictably theatrical outrage after President Trump delivered his State of the Union, offering a live demonstration of liberal media hysteria for anyone paying attention. The cohosts traded disgusted sighs and moral preening while trying to turn legitimate policy debate into a character assassination. Their loud, one-sided meltdown revealed more about the panel’s partisan posture than it did about the speech itself.
Whoopi Goldberg even admitted she planned to watch cartoons instead of the address, a revealing snapshot of the contempt certain elites have for serious civic engagement. That kind of performative refusal to listen is part of why Americans distrust cable commentary and daytime panels. Even a conservative guest host on the show critiqued the partisan display, underscoring that the reaction was political theater, not balanced analysis.
Facts matter more than histrionics: President Trump’s State of the Union was the longest ever and drew roughly 32 million viewers, down from the prior year — a number commentators immediately weaponized as if it proved his policies a failure. Live TV numbers fluctuate in an era of streaming and social media, and smug late-night hosts leapt on the decline without acknowledging the substance of the address. The media’s reflex is to celebrate any sign of trouble for Trump instead of engaging the policy points he raised.
The View’s outrage centered mostly on immigration language and a dramatic moment when Democrats chose not to stand — a predictable cue for the panel to recite performative morality. The president called out the refusal to stand and labeled the behavior “crazy,” a blunt judgment that exposed the raw partisan theater in the chamber that night. The real story is that Americans care about borders, safety, and parental rights, and the left’s insistence on framing debate as villainy only hardens voters’ skepticism.
Across the rest of the liberal news ecosystem the reaction was much the same: sanctimonious anchors described the speech as “gory” and late-night comedians gleefully mocked the ratings. Their amusement is a reminder that the cultural class would rather score political points than wrestle with the concerns of ordinary citizens. When entertainers cheer declining viewership as a political win, they reveal how out of touch they are with the people who pay their bills.
Meanwhile, the underlying numbers show the audience skewed older — the very demographic that has been suffering under failing border policies, crime in big cities, and economic uncertainty — which helps explain why themes of law and order and parental rights land so strongly. Conservative leaders made the case for policies meant to restore safety and common sense, and millions of Americans tuned in to hear how those promises would be implemented. The predictable outrage from daytime TV doesn’t change the fact that many voters are done with permissive policies and cultural elites who shame them for wanting stability.
If there’s a takeaway from the whole affair it’s this: don’t let sanctimonious anchors and tabloid panels set the agenda for your household. Hardworking Americans should judge speeches by results, not by the volume of left-wing tantrums on cable. Stand up for commonsense policies, show up at the ballot box, and refuse to let The View and its allies define patriotism for the rest of the country.
